Fox News Channel host Harris Faulkner apologized to viewers Friday afternoon after the network aired police bodycam video of the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “We had no idea what that was going to look like, and that should have had a warning and a graphic before we showed it and then on screen.”
The footage, released Friday by a San Francisco court, shows the scene at the Pelosi home when officers responded to a 911 call after an intruder with a hammer broke into the house on October 28, 2022. As officers arrive, Paul Pelosi is seen appearing to hold onto the hammer which remains in the hands of the suspect, David DePape. Within seconds, DePape pulls the hammer free and immediately swings it above his head and hits Mr. Pelosi’s skull. The officers rush in to grab DePape as Pelosi appears motionless on the floor. He spent six days in the hospital and underwent surgery for a skull fracture.
